How to Shop Thrift Stores Like an Expert

Just because I'm consignment shopping doesn't mean I can buy whatever I want. Even secondhand, quality clothes are expensive! When I'm being extracareful with my budget, I've learned to keep my shopping to my must-have list. Instead of perusing the entire store, I'll beeline straight for the boots or sweaters and focus on finding the piece I need. If it's not there, I will fight to ignore the rest of the store and simply call it a day.
